End of May

So Keera ended the day looking pretty ruff today.. not sure why, nothing particularly crazy happened. But still, pretty ruff looking and ready for a bath!



I was in the kitchen getting supper organized and when I can't be outside to supervise the kids, I close the garage door and they can still ride their bikes ect, when I went to check on them, this is what I found.. Keera trying to make a break for it on Daddies quad. She quite likes the quad and managed to get his heavy helmet on all by her self!

Jett felt his bike needed a few repairs and took to it himself. So cute! He was quite impressed with himself. I started worry a bit when the hammer came out...

Where is Ella you ask? As usually she is the front runner for "getting in to things" she was inside upstairs quietly watching tv. Yes, it is true!

The Kids

Jayme snapped off a couple pics of the kids before we headed off to Church today. It was amazing to get a good picture of the three of them together!! The girls wanted and let me do their hair with the flat iron today. Keera wanted hers straight like Mommies (I had straightened mine today) and Ella wanted "curls" the best we could do with the new do is a cute flip, which she liked. she also like my jewelry. She choose to wear the pink tights, green dress and red necklace, much to my dismay (really I didn't care, she got dressed by herself, good enough for me!!)

Front of House

So when I posted the pics of our new house.. I didn't include one of the outside... but here it is!

Kite Night

So last night at Ella's school they had "kite night" where families could come and make kites. Jay went with the girls, Jett and I were waiting at the walk in clinic (he has a congested cough) so they made a kite and Ella was quite excited to fly it today. Surprisingly it worked really well. She ran up and down the street flying it! (love all the dirt we are surrounded with.. I'm praying for a dry summer, sorry!)

New Digs (for Jayme)

Jayme is really loving his job and I am just so proud of him! He has amazing work ethic and commitment to the company and it is paying off for him. He has had a pretty big learning curve but already has things pretty well mastered and is above schedule on his assignments to date! I am so grateful for a hardworking husband and someone who takes pride in his work. He is a good provider and has stretched out of his comfort zone to provide a better home life for his family. Having him home every night at a pretty consistent time has been one the biggest ++'s in my mind. It saves my sanity each day knowing when he'll be home (to 'save' me, lol). Also to have him off Sundays is so wonderful as well, I know it will do nothing but benefit the family. The weekends go so fast now, we were use to having him for 4-5 days off at a time, but it's a small sacrifice for all the positives. Thank you Jayme for being a great provider, love you XOXO

Here is a pic of his office, and his dual computer screen's that he's quite proud of!

Go-Greem

... that's what Jett calls ice cream. Yesterday we were cleaning the garage and the kids were riding up and down the sidewalk. Then we heard the sound... the sound of a "go-greem" truck. The kids were sooooo excited, so of course we had to buy some. It was a tuff decision but they all ended up choosing the same thing, a rug-rats themed ice cream, so $10.50 later for 4 ice creams, we took a break and enjoyed the surprise treat. We had limited seating but the scaffolding worked great. I'm sure it will be a familiar sound this summer... the go-greem truck.

Boy Style

So since we've been potty training Jett, he started out sitting, moved to 'frog style' and now is experimenting with standing, he's just tall enough if he lifts the seat. So today after lunch he went pee, then he keep standing at the potty, facing me (back to the toilet) saying "poo-poo" "poo-poo" I kept saying yes, go poo, that's fine. But I didn't realize he was doing 'boy style' pooing, with the seat up and his but to the bowl, pooping in. Thank goodness it went in the toilet!!

Pics of the New Pad

Had to throw in a pic of the kids :)

Fun Night!

So I woke up at 2am to all the kids up, TV on, comp. on, lights on, just happy as can be. I was not happy, at all. Who know's how long they had been up. So get them all back in bed. 4am, same thing!! + lights on downstairs. So in reality they probably did not go back to sleep. Get them all back in bed, with STRICT instruction to stay there.. (ya right) 4:30am after a quick doze by me.. I hear something again, not so many lights on this time, actually only the girls, with the door close, open it and Jett's in there too, and the room is a DISASTER.. So not a happy Mom.. get Ella down in her bed, Jett in his and put Keera in my closet, as obviously they were not going to sleep together.. Finally they went to sleep. Actually Keera slept till 8:20am, Ella 8:35am and Jett was up when Keera got up so not sure when he was up. (they usually up 6-6:30 these days, which I'm not crazy about either)

So that was the exciting night at the Gibb household last night. If our neighbors where up I'm sure they wonder about the hours we keep!

Potty Trained!!!!

I think I can say it now, with out jinxing things.. but Jett is potty trained!! We started more seriously a few weeks before we moved (dumb I know but he was just seeming ready) and besides the day we moved in (where he peeed on our brand new hardwood and our basement floor) he has not had any accidents! + he has been dry this whole time during naps too! (naps in his undies, night time with a pull up) we've noticed he's alot more dry in the morning as well. I can't believe we are done with diapers. Kinda sad, but defiantly happy about it!!
He's so cute the way he "goes" he likes to stand/squat on the toilet seat and pee, sorta frog like. He's just barely tall enough now and is starting to stand and pee, so cute!
